Mega Beedrill, Pidgeot and Lati@s confirmed! And more!

[Richard and Blaziken]

In a bizarre and unexpected twist, two generation 1 Pokemon have been revealed to Mega Evolve in OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire, along with the Latios and Latias Megas found within the code of X/Y.

Beedril gains Adaptability and retains Bug/Poison typing and gains higher Attack and Speed.

Pidgeot, somewhat more interestingly, gains No Guard and higher Sp. Attack. Finally carving out a niche for yourself among other Normal/Flying types, eh? Spam that Hurricane!

The Eon Ticket will make a return as an event item to obtain Latias in OmegaRuby and Latios in AlphaSapphire, and you will be able to fly around on Latios and Latias using an item called Eon Flute, and find Pokemon in the sky and clouds. Older legendary Pokemon such as Reshiram, Zekrom, Dialga and Palkia can be obtained in this way, and it is said that all non-event legendaries will be obtainable in gen 6 now.

So... this is quite mind-boggling, to be honest! They just keep revealing more and more amazing features! What do you think about all of this?

The cloud overworld made me think of the cloudtops in LOZ: The Minish Cap. I think it would be cool if you fail to catch Rayquaza at the Sky Pillar, you can have a do over in the clouds. I mean it's a perfect place to  catch a Pokemon classified as the Sky High Pokemon.

Pics or it didn't happen.





Also...

Welcome to my trade thread! Here you can request a 5 IV Pokemon that I can breed for a 5 IV Pokemon of your own that I don't have! I'll take almost anything decently competitive (sorry Weedle breeders), so offer at will!

Sadly for Beedrill, Poison and Bug are not very good STAB, but can still be used.

Mega Beedrill is something I didn't know how much I wanted, until now.

and it looks so awesome.  GameFreak showing some love for Best Gen 1 Caterpiller line.

If Mega Pidgeot does indeed get that special attack boost than 100% Hurricanes with it would be an awesome thing.  Mind you, both new Pokemon might get some new moves to take advatange of their new abilities - ala Heracross and Rock Blast.

Hopefully we'll also have Mega Slaking and Regigigas!

man they are really taking the lati@s jet plane jokes and running with them huh

[Kerou 犠牲]

Those Megas look sweeeeeeeeeeeeeet

Mega Beedrill is going to be Whimsicott's worst enemy.

[Clairefable]

Mega Pidgeot is a bit underwhelming underwhelming looking... the cloud thing sounds awesome though!!

[Ledyba]

Considering all those pokemon on those screenshots have Mega evoulations.  is it safe to say that Shiftry will get one too?

[SaRo|Rapidash]

I love them both tbh, I just wish Pidgeot had more things to abuse with No Guard =/

I'd say so, in fact I'd guess that's what we'll see in the demo come Wednesday.

Also.... I feel obliged to say this:

Why isn't anyone ever just whelmed?

[Meowstic Royalty]

Mega Pidgeot already has Hurricane and perhaps Heat Wave under its belt. Being able to learn Focus Blast would be a nice addition too.

Yeah, but hurricane is the only one that receives a big-ish boost, and being required to use those moves makes it very predictable, especially given it's complete lack of a movepool otherwise xD

But yeah, something like focus blast would be very nice, and not completely out of the question! Would leave it's HP slot open for something other than ground too

Now I suddenly have a great and mighty need for Mega Cacturne.

[Meowstic Royalty]

Hell, while we're at it, let's give Pidgeot Thunder for no reason at all.

[SirBlaziken]

Let me just say Mega Pidgeot looks pretty awesome. Even if they were only small changes, they added to it really well imo.
